I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:
- Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process.
- Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on.
- Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.
And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.
Tesla vehicles are specifically singled out, because as far as I know, they are the only autonomous vehicle that uses cameras instead of Lidar.
And the Tesla company has a habit of cover ups, falsifying or manipulating crash data, and fraud.
I don’t trust any autonomous car on public roads, but some are considerably more trustworthy than Teslas.
FWIW, you can buy robot vacuums for your home with more advanced object detection than a robotaxi. 🫤
